Islam

AntRobertson

Trick question. The answer is: At one time or another, most all of them.

Who can forget the Spanish Inquisition, eh?
Being stoned to death at the hands of a Muslim or burned at the stake as so many were back then. Difference is Muslims haven't progressed out of the Dark Ages as other folks have...

Actually if the Spanish Royals didn't kick out the Arabs before and during the inquisition the middle East may have been very different now. Prior to that the Arabs were studying science and Greek philosophy. We can thank them for our number system which is Arabic otherwise maths would be very difficult using Roman numerals. After the inquisitions the Imams took advantage of the situation and pushed the Arabs to study Islam thereby solidifying their influence in the Middle East. Something the Catholic church failed to do in Europe where education flourished. That may be part of the reason why the Muslim world is stuck in the past.

sad, but makes me realize how lucky we are to live in this country, once again relegious zealots enforcing their beliefs on others

From the looks of things and the place it is said to be, I would have to say Islam definitely.

I saw a video of a coupla dudes being stoned to death on cable access TV many years ago. Wished I hadn't.

jandajoy

It's horrible....

but is it a genuine photo?

tagged snuffx.com

I konow this shit happens and it's abhorrent.

But this phot does not look right.

Knew a US man who died at the hands of these cretins. Was on his way back to LOS to move into his new house in Pattaya. Was assisting him and his other mate in some of the finalisation of these homes. 1 month or so to go there before he was finished with the place for good.
Caught him and executed him.

May this gentleman, this poor lady and all the others R.I.P.

chitown

Its real.

What kind of religion condones this?

Why the religion of peace, that's who!!!

obsidian

by history -- xians/muslims/jews -- you name it. question of who's ox/god is getting gored.

chitown

We don't live in the past and this is not history.

Happening everyday in the peaceful world of Islam.

machangezi

Generalisation. It ain't happening in every Muslim country.

cujo

No, but it's only Muslim countries that it happens in, and Islam is the only religion that condones such barbaric behavior in this day and age.

Bexar County Stud

What about the other world religions/governments that condone capital punishment? Are they equally barbaric, or less so do to more "humane" methods of execution?

If it's a matter of the difference between death by torture or death by more "humane" methods, I don't think we much justification for claiming the moral high ground.

There's the rub, IMO.

obsidian

quack quack quack.

whose ox is getting gored?

history matters.

Norton

Only if one wants a snapshot of what's to come.

AntRobertson

Would you like fries with that order of hyperbole?

I have my doubts about the authenticity of the pic too actually. But even presuming it to be legit why is it that all Muslims are always held accountable for the actions of a few extremists. If the shoe were on the other foot and all Christians are to be judged by a handful of nutters then it doesn't look any better does it.
